Vision

• The key to efficient, effective service management – understanding the full behaviour of the network
• Traditional network management techniques – do not manage the network holistically
• Leverage IP network’s own routing intelligence – streamline key network operations processes
• Deliver Compelling Business Value

Route-Flow Data Fusion

Route Explorer

Traffic Explorer

• Actual topology including real-time routing changes.
• Actual traffic loads across all links – not subset of links.
• End-to-end view of all traffic flows – not isolated, link-by-link statistics.
• Supports “what-if” modelling on the “as running” network.
• Full historical data for forensic analysis.
• Small footprint – minimal net load and highly scalable.
